A civilization to me, is a community of people living together peacefully, it could be millions of people or just hundreds of people, they're still a civilization. There could be different ways that each civilization functions, of course no two groups of people operate the same way. Each civilization could have their own religion, their own form of government, their own currency, and their own lifestyles. One civilization could have freedoms and another civilization could not. People could define civilization as being advanced or superior, but just because people live differently it doesn't make them "savages" or "uncivilized". When you look at the American Revolution for example, the British defined the Indians as savages, but what made them savages? Was it the color of their skin or the way they lived? The Indians and the British had completely different outlooks on life, but they were both civilizations. I don't think anyone is in a position where they can term a civilization "uncivilized". Everybody is different but, we are all humans.
